As far as College goes, we did have a scrimmage on Sat. but this was pretty lame. We only got about 45 minutes of work. It was really a waste of time.
One of the College White Hats invited me to his game Sat night so I can work with the Umpire. This Umpire has moved up to DII and is very well respected. He was in our HS association for many years until he moved to another area. This was great news because we do not have another UMP in our area I can work with.
Well, a HS crew meeting Monday, and the last College meeting on Tuesday... and then this all becomes way too real.

Hard to Be Excited
So, Friday night was the HS Scrimmage. These are always a joke. They bring four team, split the field in half, and start on the 40 going in. Coaches are on the field, there is no clock, there are no chains, no kicking game. No all pointless, but still not a real game. And real games start next week.
Now get this, as I mentioned earlier, I'm on this new crew they just created. We only have three of us with any real Var experience, our White Hat is a new Crew Chief and our BJ is supposedly 'ready' for Var. I still don't know who the 5th guy is. To top this off, we also have 3 rookies - were they at the scrimmage? Ah, no. But this coming Sat. I have a three game set and I know I'll White Hat at least one of these games with guys who have never been on the field before. Swell.
And to think I came from a crew where I was the rookie with 10 years experience.

Day Jobs and Scrimmages
I missed the second controlled scrimmage on Thursday because of a crisis at work. My boss was on vacation and it was just one of those things I could not pawn off on any of my employees. I had to involve Sr. Management and the corrective action impacted about 40 people who had to work through the night until about 4:00AM. Not the ideal time to say I need to go a scrimmage -- see ya!
This really sucked, because I needed to get back on the horse after the crap-fest scrimmage on Tuesday. So many things I need to work on so they become more ingrained. Oh, well. The more I work this level the more I realize I don't know crap. Everyone told me this would happen, but you know, this would never happen to me!! I'm starting to get nervous.
